"We have already had people express interest regarding the apartments before we are yet to release a proper pricing plan.

"The progress with the whole site is coming along very well. We have the roof on and aim to be completed by before the end of the year come early next for the whole site."

It is hoped that the apartments will be completed by February.

The glass museum, which is being built on part of the factory site, once known as the White House Glass Cone, will showcase the area's glass making history.

Broadfield House Glass Museum will close at the end of September with the glass collection moved to the new site in autumn 2016.

The collection will be loaned to the British Glass Foundation on a 125-year lease and they will run the new museum.
